The 2006 white Chateauneuf du Pape (70% Grenache blanc, 25% Clairette, and 5% Bourboulenc) exhibits hints of poached pear, citrus, honeysuckle, and lemon juice. The wine is beautifully fruity, medium-bodied, and best drunk over the next 2-3 years.This estate has been on an outrageous run of successful vintages ever since 1998, no small thanks to the extraordinary efforts of the two brothers, Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio. For them 2005 is a very structured, concentrated, powerful vintage that will require significant cellaring. Their 2006s are among the great successes of that vintage, much more charming and up-front than the 2005s, but concentrated.Importer: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel.
